Brandeis University President's House
Brandeis University President's House, National Register historic residence at Brandeis University, Newton, United States.
The two-story L-shaped house features broad eaves, exposed rafters, and stucco-covered stone walls at the corner of Beaumont and Prospect streets.
Constructed in 1913 for state legislator Leland Powers, the house endured an anarchist bomb attack in 1919 before becoming the university president's residence in 1948.
The American Craftsman style residence displays interior Arts and Crafts decorations and serves as a gathering place for university events and distinguished visitors.
Located at 66 Beaumont Avenue, the property functions as both the official residence for Brandeis University presidents and a venue for institutional functions.
Roger Berkowitz, CEO of Legal Sea Foods, owned this historic property between 1992 and 1994, marking a brief interruption in its academic institutional use.
